... like building a DYI holder for an RV sewer hose with a 5" attachment at each end; and, if you're an RVer, you'll understand the utmost importance of this simple project.
Seems that some RV manufacturers haven’t cottoned on to the fact today's RV sewer hoses have larger 'fitterments' than those of years gone by. Yup, they're still building bumpers to hold 4" hoses; which would fit if all you were storing was the hose.. which, of course would mean you'd have to detach and re-attach each fitterment at each end of each hose (sometimes you need two) every time you went to empty your grey and black water tanks... sigh. What a drag.
Sooo, the results of my labours today are displayed in the photo showing two 5"x5" containers, with pop-off ends and a slide to help ease said hose out of said holder. One will fit behind the propane tanks at the forward end of Lucy Too and the other will store in the truck. Once we've decided Lucy will stay (and be our last trailer-type purchase) we will repeat the addition of a custom built stern fender, designed to house the main sewer hose. Until then, these little puppies should do the job.
Best wishes to you all... Here's hoping your sewer hoses are all in good shape and stored, packed, or protected well. CJ
PS: I can't take full credit for the invention... I borrowed a couple ideas from google and a U-Tube video.
